Checking tire ballast

Wonder how full my tires are.

I think I found out today.

Couple of gallons low!

That surprised me. I do my own tires and thought I had them filled right up to the top of the rim.

A big drop in temp following high humidity in the summer works well too.

Yep,saw that myself yesterday morning. I was surprised when I looked at the 2-105. One was full nearly to the top of the rim,the other was barely above the axle. I guess they weren't paying attention when they put those tires on there.

Well that is an interesting way to see your fluid level. Pretty cool.

A stud finder using capacitive sensing will measure through the sidewall easily!! Jim

The outer left being on backwards has changed the polarity and causing low tide in the others.
